Chapter 5

At this moment, Gavin, who was unharmed, stood in the middle of the Harper Villa’s grand hall. His body was tense. Every muscle coiled with restrained anger. His eyes, cold and piercing, scanned the room, taking in the fallen bodies around him.

All around him, these people had already fallen to the ground. Their faces contorted in fear and pain, and their lifeless eyes stared into nothingness. The air was heavy with the stench of blood, a stark reminder of the violence that had unfolded in this once elegant hall. The sight of his enemies lying lifeless on the ground brought a twisted satisfaction to Gavin’s heart.

These individuals hadn’t even come close to Gavin, yet they had met their inevitable fate.

In the hall, the guests who had come to attend Samuel’s birthday celebration were dumbfounded.

They stared in shock and fear at Gavin, who stood proudly in the center of the hall.

However, Gavin paid no attention to the gazes around him. Over the years, he had gotten used to terrified gazes like these. Things like this happened around him every day. Driven by fury and the strong desire to avenge his family’s death, he only fixed his eyes on his enemy before him, not giving anyone else his attention.

At the same time, on the floor, Xavier, the one Gavin had slapped away, slowly twitched and managed to lift himself up.

His face was half covered in blood, and his eyes were empty. He looked dumbfounded as if he had no idea what had just happened.

Thud!”

Thud!”

“Thud!”

Footsteps echoed as Gavin approached. They sounded ‘slow and stable; but everyone present felt the killing intent as they approached, which sent shivers down people’s spihes.

Xavier’s vacant gaze slowly shifted toward the source of the sound.

He then realized that Gavin was walking toward him with an expressionless face.

When Xavier saw Gavin’s expressionless face, a sinister grin finally crept onto his face.

He tried to speak, but the intense pain on his face made him scream.

He cried out, “Ah!”

Hearing Xavier’s scream, Samuel, who was his grandfather, instantly spoke up.

He exclaimed, “Xavier, are you okay? Are you okay?

“Kid, what are you trying to do? Don’t come any closer!”

As Gavin approached Xavier, Gavin lowered his head and looked at Xavier with a blank expression. No one could tell what he was thinking at the moment, but it was obvious that he was enveloped by a strong killing intent. His hoarse voice sounded once more.

He asked, “Are you Xavier?

“Are you the one who sent people to chase after my sister?”

After hearing Gavin’s cold voice, Xavier stared at him with his bloodshot eyes. At this moment, mixed feelings surged into his heart. There was fury, perplexity, despair, and grievance. However, one thing was for sure. There was no regret. He endured the excruciating pain and struggled to speak.
